Works "fine"... 15 is still a pretty thin oil.. unless you live in the deepest darkest middle of the midwest were the temps are ridiculous.. No problem at all.
All the adverts/common folklore talks about 'startup wear'.. well it's true in part, but the famous wear is mostly from the circulating acids in the cold oil.. Oil viscosity/pourability resulting in a long time to lube.. is a V small percentage of the wear happening.. But it's far less dramatic sounding than the Truth.. and makes for much better sales.
